The correct answer is letter B.

A STIGMA is a social identity that develops when a person is socially devalued by others because of an identifiable characteristic. Every society holds in itself a certain stigma because people are expected to act accordingly to what is deemed "normal" or "regular" by society. Something that does not fit in such criteria is held with much regard and is completely judged by society.
